You're right about the frequency for sure, most things with an AC motor for example wouldn't handle it.

But a quick search shows people have done this for things like kettles without issue.

I'm curious since you guys still use 240V for washer, dryer, cooker, EV charger, etc. Could you legally install a 240V socket (with a different plug type) and use an appliance from a 240V country?

I get it would probably be overkill for a kettle alone but I'm curious why it's only common for some things. Is it regulated, like do devices need a special approval to be allowed to run 240V in US?

Like calling the numbering system base 10.

It would be base 10 regardless of the number of units

BBC shows ads on some foreign services, but not in the UK

I used to use an app called Hullomail which brought them into an app as voice clips you can see the caller and play or export.

It also showed you missed calls while your phone was off since they can just flag when a call was redirected to them. Super useful.

IIRC they got acquired and removed the free tier but you might still find them useful.

I'm from the UK where it's at least banned indoors.

Visiting European pubs/bars where people still smoke is nuts and my clothes always stink after

That's the point of the post

It does feel counterintuitive but it kinda makes sense since it's probably a small dev team.

The third party OS is being dogfooded and its devs probably use it on a daily basis, making minor improvements, it probably has different people working on a port for their own device, etc.

For a company that's selling products, their time is split between fixing issues in the current OS, and building the next version of the OS for new phones

I'd heard about it as a secure, pro privacy ROM but never used it since it's not available on my current device. But after seeing their attitude on some forums, it honestly put me right off ever wanting to try Graphene OS.

I'm glad it's not just me

Only solution is to write your own

Some people pronounce the h and some don't. They're saying it sounds bad to say "an his..."

Just laughed aloud in a café, thanks for that

It's Sunny Always In Philadelphia?

I think they're referring to Greenland but I'm not aware of a land border

That entirely depends on where you live.

Your statement that the vast majority of homes are owned by the residents is not true where I live.

Blanket policies don't work, governments need to implement regulation that recognises the nuance of different markets.

But also yes, build more homes too

Doesn't work if landlords just buy that too.

Needs proper regulation

As a Brit, I still find it staggering that some places allow you to drive a manual without having learned how to. It's two separate licences over here.

mdm?

Yes, so annoying especially when using source control which is case sensitive.
